For the unversed, the 'Nauvari' celebrated the strength and fighting spirit of a woman. Traditionally worn by women to fight in wars back in the day, the saree allowed for mobility and freedom of movement and wasn't just a mere aesthetic attire. 

The festival of Gudi Padwa has always held a special place in Shraddha Kapoor's heart as she is Maharashtrian from her mother's side of the family. Earlier in 2020, the actress had posted a black and white picture of her grandmother, mother and herself all dressed in traditional Maharashtrian attire.

On the work front, the actress is currently busy shooting for her next with Ranbir Kapoor. The film is directed by 'Lukka Chhuppi' fame Luv Ranjan. In addition, she also has Pankaj Parashar's 'Chaalbaaz in London' and Vishal Furia's 'Nagin' coming up next.
